B-LINE 864 RTHC NK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line 864 RTHC NK junction box be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The 864 RTHC NK is a NEMA Type 3R enclosure, which covers outdoor use against rain, sleet and snow, and it adds a rain hood over the door. Note 3R is a drip-proof rating, not a washdown or dust-tight one, so if the box will see hose-down or heavy airborne dust you want a Type 4 or 12 enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions on the B-Line 864 RTHC junction box?
It measures 8 inches high, 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep, which is where the 864 designation comes from. At 3 lb it is a one-hand mount on a wall or strut.
3) Does this B-Line enclosure come with knockouts for conduit?
No. The NK in 864 RTHC NK means no knockouts, so the box ships blank and you punch your own conduit openings where the run actually lands. If you want factory knockouts, you need a KO version of the enclosure rather than this one.
4) How does the cover open and can it be locked?
The door is hinged on a formed top hinge and it has a padlock provision, so it swings open for service and takes a standard padlock or lockout hasp to secure it. The cover is also removable if you need the box completely open to pull wire.
5) What is the B-Line 864 RTHC NK made of and how is it finished?
Carbon steel at 16 gauge, painted ANSI 61 grey. That is the standard grey used across industrial control gear, so it matches existing panels and enclosures on most plant and utility installs. Being painted steel rather than stainless, it suits general outdoor and industrial locations rather than corrosive or coastal ones.
6) How does this junction box mount to a wall?
Surface mount, using embossed thru holes in the back of the box. The embossing keeps the mounting fasteners standing the box off the surface and the holes sealed against the 3R rating, so you fasten straight to the wall or strut without drilling new penetrations.
7) Is the B-Line 864 RTHC NK UL listed?
It is built to UL 50, the standard covering enclosures for electrical equipment. It is also made in the US.
8) Does a back panel come with the 864 RTHC NK?
The 864 RTHC NK ships as an empty single-door junction box with the hinged cover and rain hood. Any interior mounting panel, terminal blocks, or conduit hubs are separate items, so budget those into the order if you are landing devices inside rather than just splicing.
